Listening in Gospels class the other day, and mostly drawing connections that weren’t made or stated, I stumbled across something pretty interesting today in Mark. During Jesus’ baptism we get this little bit of information:
And just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
Keep in mind the idea that the heavens are splitting open and the Holy Spirit is descending onto Jesus, bringing an end to the seperation of God from his people. Keep that in mind for a really long time. Heck, keep that in mind until you get to the end.
But Jesus cried out with a loud voice and breathed his last. And the temple curtain was torn in two, from top to bottom.
Foreshadow? Yeah, I think maybe Mark was doing something like that.
Nothing too big, just thought it was pretty cool.
